¹Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

¹Untuk pemimpin kor. Mazmur Daud. Ya Allah yang selalu kupuji, janganlah berdiam diri.

²For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

²Sebab aku diserang penjahat dan penipu yang menyebarkan cerita-cerita bohong tentang aku.

³They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

³Mereka menyerang aku dengan kata-kata penuh kebencian, dan memerangi aku tanpa alasan.

⁴For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

⁴Mereka menuduh aku, walaupun aku mengasihi mereka, dan telah mendoakan mereka.

⁵And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁵Mereka membalas kebaikanku dengan kejahatan, dan kasihku dengan kebencian.

⁶Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

⁶Angkatlah seorang jahat untuk mengadili dia, biarlah ia didakwa oleh lawannya.

⁷When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

⁷Biarlah ia diadili dan dinyatakan bersalah, dan biarlah doanya dianggap dosa.

⁸Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

⁸Biarlah hidupnya lekas berakhir, dan jabatannya diambil oleh orang lain.

⁹Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

⁹Biarlah anak-anaknya menjadi yatim, dan istrinya menjadi janda.

¹⁰Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

¹⁰Biarlah anak-anaknya menjadi pengemis yang mengembara, dan diusir dari reruntuhan rumahnya.

¹¹Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

¹¹Biarlah segala miliknya disita oleh penagih utang, dan hasil jerih payahnya dirampas orang.

¹²Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

¹²Jangan ada yang baik hati kepadanya, atau menyayangi anak-anak yang ditinggalkannya.

¹³Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

¹³Biarlah seluruh keturunannya dibinasakan, dan namanya dilupakan oleh angkatan yang kemudian.

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

¹⁴Biarlah kejahatan leluhurnya tetap diingat TUHAN, dan dosa ibunya tidak dihapuskan.

¹⁵Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

¹⁵Biarlah dosa mereka selalu diingat TUHAN, dan tak ada yang mengenang mereka di bumi.

¹⁶Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

¹⁶Sebab orang itu tak pernah ingat untuk menunjukkan kasih sayang. Ia menganiaya orang miskin dan sengsara, dan membunuh orang yang tak berdaya.

¹⁷As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

¹⁷Ia suka mengutuk; biarlah ia sendiri kena kutuk! Ia tidak suka memberi berkat, biarlah tak ada berkat untuk dia!

¹⁸As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

¹⁸Baginya mengutuk itu perbuatan biasa, sama seperti mengenakan pakaiannya. Biarlah kutuk itu merembes seperti air ke badannya, dan seperti minyak ke dalam tulang-tulangnya.

¹⁹Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

¹⁹Biarlah kutuk itu menutupi dia seperti pakaian, dan selalu melingkari dia seperti ikat pinggang.

²⁰Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

²⁰TUHAN, jatuhkanlah hukuman itu atas penuduhku, atas orang yang bicara jahat tentang aku.

²¹But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

²¹Tetapi tolonglah aku sesuai dengan janji-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, selamatkanlah aku karena kebaikan dan kasih-Mu.

²²For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

²²Sebab aku miskin dan sengsara, dan hatiku terluka sampai dalam.

²³I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

²³Aku hampir hilang seperti bayangan di waktu petang, aku dikebaskan seperti belalang.

²⁴My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

²⁴Lututku gemetar karena berpuasa, badanku menjadi kurus kering.

²⁵I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

²⁵Orang-orang yang melihat aku menghina aku sambil menggeleng-gelengkan kepala.

²⁶Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

²⁶Tolonglah aku, ya TUHAN Allahku, selamatkanlah aku sesuai dengan kasih-Mu.

²⁷That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

²⁷Maka musuhku akan tahu bahwa itu perbuatan-Mu, bahwa Engkau, TUHAN, yang melakukannya.

²⁸Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

²⁸Walaupun mereka mengutuk aku, semoga Engkau memberkati aku. Biarpun mereka bangkit, mereka akan dipermalukan; tetapi semoga aku, hamba-Mu, digembirakan.

²⁹Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

²⁹Biarlah orang-orang yang menuduh aku diliputi kehinaan, dan rasa malu menyelubungi mereka seperti jubah.

³⁰I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

³⁰Aku mau memuji TUHAN dengan suara nyaring, memasyhurkan Dia di tengah himpunan umat.

³¹For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

³¹Sebab Ia membela dan menyelamatkan orang miskin dari mereka yang menjatuhkan hukuman mati ke atasnya.
